- For the NetHack production team, here is my idea for a new race of monsters
- that can inhabit the world of NetHack 3.1
-
- Terminators ;) (Yes, call me a sick little monkey ;)
-
- All terminators are represented by a "T".
-
- There are 3 kinds of Terminators.
-
- 1) The Terminator Endoskeleton, HP 100-150, HD 15, resistant to death and
- cancellation wands. Special weapons do normal damage. Endoskeletions, or for
- that matter, any Terminator cannot be affected by Cockatrices, Cockatrice
- corpses or Medusa. They also cannot be charmed, tamed or put to sleep.
-
- Terminators do not need to eat, and thus a dead terminator will leave
- no corpse behind.
-
- Terminators will also pick up and wield or wear any weapon or armor that
- they find, making them truly formidible opponents.
-
- 2) Series 800, Model 101 (Arnold). HP 250-400, HD 25, as before except
- Special weapons do only half damage. Otherwise immune to normal weapons.
-
- 3) The T-1000, HP N/A, HD 10, immune to all attacks from physical weapons.
- There is only one method to kill a T-1000. First, hit it with a wand of
- cold until it freezes. Second, hit it with a wand of Magic Missile to
- shatter it. and Finally, zap it with a wand of fire to melt it forever.
-
- The T-1000 cannot be swallowed if the character is a Purple Worm/Lurker Above
- type character, as he would slice his way through your stomach shredding
- you to ribbons and killing you instantly. A YAFM perhaps! ;)
-
- Terminators cannot be genocided or polymorphed.
-
- Soulstealer does do special damage. After all, Terminators don't have
- souls to steal. ;)
-
- The player cannot polymorph into a Terminator. That would e cheating! ;)
-
- The legend about Terminators is that Desendents of the Wizard of Yendor
- have sent these being back in time to protect the Wizard. Or were they
- sent to destroy YOU? ;)
-
- And yes, I know NetHack is a Medeival game, but considering the creators let
- Quantum Mechanics and their ilk in, they could logistacally put Terminators
- in. :)
